Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having a painful swelling of the eyelid.
This indicates a probable staph infection of the glands of the eyelids called as stye.
This needs to be treated by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Along with this use of warm compression provides symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
With regards
